A snap of teeth, and a kick, warned him he had reached the limit. With a "Whoa Dick, durn ye'!" ho slipped the bit In the horse's mouth, and buckled the throat latch. Then he looked to his weapons. He placed a cartridge in the chamber of his carbine, closed the breech block, set the hammer at a safety, and sllnned the carbine in its booh He spun the cylinder of his six-shooter, and let the hammer rest on the empty chamber, He mounted; and, as he started, two rwartby figures appeared in the semi darkness for it was searing daybreak and stood by his side. They were the Indian scouts who were to accompany him on his twenty-five mile search for very chance trail of the hostile Apaches. "Helloa!" exclaimed the soldier. "Big Bead, and Tretty, too!

Tast G troop, with their Sibley tents, he rode; past the graves, where his comrades had been killed 'by the Apache band, a short month ago; and on beyond the sutler's tent. The gray of morning had heightened now. The walls of Gaudaloupe Canon showed the splendid art of nature on (either side. Titian bronzes mingled iwitb. the green of the fields. Tiles of firiftwood the aftermath of cloud bursts made the setting for a perspec tive of great mural designs in chaos, needing only some master hand to ar range them. Birds twittered, as they sought precarious breakfasts. It was all lost on Damer. H whit tled a pipeful of tobacco from a well seasoned jihig and lighted his pipe, toon his horse wag climbing the canon's side. He dismounted, as he reached the top, to take up the slack In the cinch. The sun Just then asserted his full power. A flash of light from the east; Incandescent rays beaming skyward, like an Aurora; a rim of white fire from the edge of the mountains; a full burst ing forth of the glory of another day and the sun of Arizona had begun once more its scorching and parching of famished plain and bleaching moun tain. Damer never saw the daily miracle. Just now, he was swearing vigorously at Dick, who swelled himself after the manner of well-seasoned cavalry horses to resist the tightening of the cinch. A few punches in the ribs settled the matter. Dick assumed normal propor tions. It was force of habit that caused him to play the trick. He knew that a loose saddle meant disaster. A gallop a sudden shy from a prairie Jog hole tha crash of the trooper as saddle and man slipped under his belly; end Dick would have killed his master before he could have stopped himself. Damer swung into the saddle, settled tiimself, let the bridle reins fall loose, and started along the well worn trail, only horse wide, Lizzarda scuttled in end out. The whirr of a rattlesnake crackled sharply. Trairie dogs chat tered; and the little owls sat blinking, CDe legged and solemn. "Blame you! What do you mean?" It was the famlllarexpletive, with the trooper's affection for bis horse as the undertone, and the startled anxiety of the man who was half soldier, half eeont, In the phrasing.

But the Ronsltivo nostrils of the horse were alive to the faintest whiff in the parching air. The nervous Rliy of the horse brought Dinner's trained eyes to the cnuse for no nrmv horse turns aside save for some good reason. Dinner saw a small heating down of the hushes, the faint Impression of tin shod hoofs, and the rooting up of earth that evidenced a struggle. His Intuition painted an Instant pie- tnre in Jiis mind's eye. Gerotilmo and his band had again cut the trail for Mexico. One of the Indian scouts had prevented the other from giving him the warning." The struggle proved that. The loyal Indian was lying somewhere In the bushes. The other one was hidden, ready to kill Damer should he betray the fact that he had noticed the crossing trail. Damer tightened the bridle reins. He said, aloud, and calmly: "Go on, Dick What's the matter with you?" A glance to the right and left, a loos enlng of Uie carbine in tlte boot, and Damer slowly dismounted. As he busied himself with the clneh, he cut two strips from the latlgo strap, slowly and with much care. Remounting, he slipped the button from his pistol hol ster. Dick Jogged along; and Damer, in tiie saddle, rode with the air of a man longing for sleep. An Indian appeared on the trail, with ins "long torn slung across his ami The hammer was at full cock. A false move an Inkling of what had gone before and Damer would have filled the buzzard maws, and Geronlmo would have gained another recruit, But the soldier was merely dully curious. "Helloa, Tretty! Where's Big Head?" "Big Head? Him down that way. Alebbe not in to-day. Saw deer." "All right then; you trot ahead." The Indian swung around on the ball of his foot the moccasin right about and advanced again,, reassured. Damer sank both rowels in Dick's side. As the frenzied jump of the horse carried him to the trailer he brought down the butt of his pistol mightily on Tretty's head. A Jerk of the bridle, a swift dismounting, and. in a moment, Tretty's hands were be hind him. As Tretty was assisted to his feet, he slowly grinned at his captor. The primitive man had asserted himself. Despite of four years of careful school ing, nnd long mingling with the differ ent environment, the Indian had come back to his own. Damer understood. and he answered the mirthless, signifi cant smile: You bet! You've fooled a heap of people but not your Uncle Dudley." They started on the back trail. "I knew you were laying for me and Go on, blast you!" Tretty made a small show of protest ing. "You savey, Damer? Court martial for hlttln Injun. What's the matter? You loco?" Court martial! It'll mean hanging for you, if I don't kill yon myself. Here's how It reads: Trail discovered by two Injuns. One of 'em-and it's not you honest enough to give me the tip. You kill him; and you'd have killed me. Now, you show me what you've done with him." Indian and soldier slowly traveled the back trail. "Now then, Tretty; here we are." Damer dismounted, untied his lariat. cut the straps from the Indian's hands. and, leveling his forty-five, added: "Go ahead! Bring him out! "No monkeyin'i You know me! An other move likejthat, an there'll be one less Injun to eat Government beans." There was a little brush of mesqulte where they had halted. Tretty had cast a cunning, stealthy glance at Damer, to see whether the chance of a sudden bolt would avail. No! There was a glint In the gray eyes that looked him squarely in the face, and a nervous twitching of the Hps which, with the careless Western method of handling Colts, caused him to change his mind. The soldier had the snapshot iiabit no looking over the sights, no aim taken; yet, when you glance, the ugly muzzle seems to be covering all parts of your anatomy at one time. Tretty noted the signs shrewdly. Like a wise Indian, he parted the bushes and glided away from the trail. There had not been much of a strug gle a downward blow from the butt end of a rifle while Big Head was ex amining the trail, a swift binding of bands and feet, and the dragging of his body into the bushes. There he lay now, aeaa. His race was upturned to the beating sun, mouth agape, eyes distended, and bloody marks where the cruel thongs had cut his flesh. Tretty, at the body's side, began a protest: "Damer, I not kill him. I only nit What the matter, I not know." "KlHed himself, eh? Bloomln magi cian be must have been! Tick him up, my son, and drag him out to Dick. We'll take him into camp with us. Fust rate evidence he Is." "You heap dog!" gritted Tretty. Hate the bitter malevolence of a race refined in cruelty glared out of the Indian's eyes. "Yep!" and the six-shooter waved rhythmically up and down the lino of Pretty's body. "Yep!" repeated Dinner. "Me heap dog. And you'll be dog meat in Just a holy second if you don't move -Quick!" The command snapped outward from his teeth like the crack of a Winches ter. In its harsh abruptness was all the dominance of the men who had conquered his people years ago. The Indian stooped over and placed his hands around Big Head's body. With a yell he leaped backward, shrieking to the soldier: "Cocheo, pronto! Knife, knife, quick!" A cold glance of Inquiry started from Darner's eyes as lie looked, first nt the body of the dead man, and then at Tretty's face. The Indian's hand was frantically clutching lit his knife sheath. The soldier had not forgotten the knife when he took Tretty's rifle from lilin The shining blade of the Indian rested alongside his own. "No," answered Damer. The thought of treachery was chill within lilm. "You stop this monkey business mid drasf I'.ig Head out here to the trail." "Look!" The word fairly rasped from the In dliin's throat. Holding up both hands, palms outward, Tretty supplicated the soldier. lie saw on the pnlm of the left hand two pin pricks, about an Inch npnrt. Even while he stared, two tiny drops of blood started. A rattlesnake bite! As Damer hesitated, The Indian com menced, with an Inhuman snarl, to bite chunks of flesh from the wound. A few seconds, and the poison would be swiftly traversing its way to the In' dlnn's heart. "Here!" Damer whipped out his knife and spun it, hilt first, to Tretty. A swift snatch at the blade, a cir cular sweep of the steel, the swishing sound of parting flesh, nud half of Tretty's palm lay on the burning sand. Tlty filled the soldier's heart as he stared, ox-eyed and dumb, at the frightful, bleeding hand, the glare of horror in the Indian's eyes, and the dead lKitly at their feet. A rustling of dry scales over drier twigs acted as a shock. Damer was alert once more; his pistol arm brought the Colts to the front, as he sow four feet of sinuous, twisting body, the gyrating tall and cold, emotionless eyes of death Incarnate, glide out from un der the dead man's body, and coll as though to strike again. He blew off its head, and turned to the Indian. Already a hideous gray mottling was appearing through the bronzed skin. The trailer's eyes were twitching, while great sobs burst from his Hps as he struggled for breath. Too late no chance for life. As the deadly poison swiftly sought his heart and the cold damp of fear burst out on his brow, more swiftly did the thought come to Tretty of revenge. Damer had partly turned away, sick of the dreadful sight, when, with a noiseless spring Tretty was upon him They tumbled to the ground. Darner's gun bad been knocked from his hand. As the Indian struck, again and again, with his knife, the soldier knew be was struggling for life, the Indian for a double death. With the trained mufw cles of a clean frontier life, Dainer evaded the knife thrusts, twice, thrice; then be felt the cold steel grate against bis ribs a glancing blow. But the next one! There must be no next. With a frantic effort he managed to seize the hand which held the knife, and sought for Tretty's throat. He knew that his only hope for life lay in the quickness of the poison's work. Could be hold out against the last frenzy of death? Over the dead body of Big Head they rolled, over the bloody headless body of the rattlesnake. Pretty was beat ing him in the face with the mangled hand. Covered with blood and slowly weak ening from bls'wound, the tensity of the soldier's grasp relaxed. With a sudden Jerk, Tretty tore his nrm free and drew back for the full stroke. As he glared in Darner's face, the soldier closed his eyes. . There was a sudden gasp, a mighty upheaval of the body, and Damer was tossed aside. Tretty was dead. As Damer arose and looked down at the tragedy, far off, in the blue sky, the buzzards could be seen coming to their feast. Outing. Force of Habit.

Buying Off a Young MachinistMaking Business Man of a Musician Hushing a Song and Dance Man Brlfce Prompted by Professional Jealousy. LAWYER the other day hazarded the remark, says the Baltimore Herald, that there were more fortunes imide by deliberately blight ing one's hopes for a career than by carrying them out. "(Mir firm drew up a contract re. cenlly," said he, "by which a young woman was given $100,000 outright to renounce n vaudeville career of which she bad made the beginning of a great success. Hhe had been married, Imv lug made a runaway match against hei parents' wishesn From that time on her family disowned her, and though the husband was taken ill, and the young coiqile were generally unfor tunate, they were left to work It out alone as best they could. Finally, the daughter decided to go on the stage. Mio had unquestionably great talent. Her llrst appearance was an over whelming success, and she received of fers for engagements that promised her allliienee compared with the pov erty ske had been living In. "It was now that the parents stepped forward with the'long delayed offer of assistance. Hhe had been advertised umlcr the name she hail born In girl hood, and it was undoubtedly this cir cumstance, rather than the fact that she was obliged to earn her living that influenced her father and mother. To see their proud name advertised upon the vaudeville billboards was too much for the dd couple, and they maile over to her the sum mentioned upon the con. ill lion that she would retire at once and forever to private life. "This was, perhaps, less unfortunate than the ease of n young man I knew of who had an absorbing passion for machinery. lie had taken a position In n ninclilne shop, and was never so happy as when he was at work In his overalls. His father encouraged him in bis plan of becoming a practical machinist, and be would undoubtedly have made a success in this Hue If it bad not been for the interference of his mother. "The family had some considerable social position, but it was the mother who bad most of the money. From the first she seriously objected to the Appearance of the young man when he came and went from the bouse in Ills working clothes, and she made It so unpleasant for him that he finally had to give up staying at home entirely. Housed In a cheap hoarding bouse, he became tired himself of the life he bad picked out, and when bis mother con stantly visited him, with protestations of affection, begging him to come home, and offering him a large income if he would study law, as she had hoped for blm, he finally yielded. He has never made any success as a lawyer, although he has been In receipt of a comforta ble Income, and probably will be all his life. "These incidents are only ln.llne with that a few years ago of a young fellow who bad great musical tuleuts and a highly artistic temperament. Ho was not without n certain conscientious business faculty, also, and this his father who was a practical business man, the owner of a brewery was making the most of by putting blm to work early. One day an organist of some note who had n good business clientele In the profession of music, of fered to give him musical training free of charge. He pointed out hoW even at the start with what knowledge of music ho already possessed he could put blm in the way of earning his liv ing for the years that be was studying. 'It was now that the young man's father stepped in not only with n warn ing as to the utter impotency of the musical career as a business, but with strict Injunctions ns to bis duty of mak ing something of himself as a business man. He also nt this opportune time gave blm Increased responsibilities and a substantial increase in salary. The result is that now the man is over whelmed with the responsibilities of a business, part of which he has inl:?ritrd and of all of which be has been made trustee. He has no lime for the music that his soul loves, even nn n recrea tion, and it is the regret of Ws Tfe that he did not take bis opportunity when be had It Another case was that of a family who had certain false standards of what constituted a useful position In life. One of the sons had made some thing of a career for himself in ath letics. He was not only good in his line to the extent that he could com mand a professional career, but he was well 'known and liked and bad good friends among people of his profes sion. At such limes, however, rs he would return home after periods of work, especially if he had been railed upon to do anything in n business way upon Sunday, lie was met with a cold ness and sanctimonious disapproval which became unbearable. Finally his father offered him substantial reward and the promise of something better if he would stay at home and help him in bis business. The result was that he settled into n business In which he was entirely without initiative, and nniong a class or men with whom he did not either afnllute or moke friends. "Oniy recently a man of not unkind motives wrecked what promised to be a fine artistic career. His nephew only needed a little timely help and sym pathy to develop into a successful painter. His uncle, however, consid ered that be was going to the limit of irresponsible Bohemianism. He ig nored him for a time, but when the struggle wat at its hardest and he was handioapped by an ailing wife bis A la ij uncle died and bequeathed his fortune to blm upon the condition that he give up art altogether, lie accepted the terms far more for his wife's sake than his own, hut the loss of bis life work ami the abandonment of lils ambitions broke his heart." There Is another Instance of a young tn ii ti who, a few years ago, bade fair to make quite a inline for himself upon the stage. IIo secretly won the af fections of the daughter of n rjch mag nate well known In this country. The lovers were discovered and ruthlessly separated. Tim young woman, how ever, took this so much to heart that she was really thought to be In danger of dying. Whereupon, the stern parent was compelled to capitulate, which he illil upon his own terms. His son-in-law was to abandon the singe utterly and never allude to lils connection with It, and In return was to be permitted to marry the girl and receive n yearly allowance. Although lie would have Infinitely preferred to light bis own way, the young man was conquered by love and feminine tears. Ills ef forts are spent In trying to write phfys, but so far the efforts of n desultory life have not resulted either In great success along this Hue or In an over abundance of happiness. Two brothers living In a small town Inherited alike a small fortune from (heir father. One, who was conven tionally respectable, Used bis money and Ills efforts to get Into society better than that to which be had been lie customed. The oilier spent bis money, drifted away from lils birthplace, and finally went from one shiftless oecupa. lion to another until he was reduced to keeping soul and body together by doing n stunt of (lie commonest vari ety In the lower vaudeville houses. Appeals to Ills brother availed little until one day the latter was put up as a candidate for Congress from bis dis trict. The young man, who was not without a sense of humor, saw his op portunity. He acquired the sales rights to a certain proprietary medlelns and appeared at the public square on the evenings when outdoor political meet ings were held. In the lulls between political speeches and "music by the band," the young man began to hawk the qualities of the medicine, which lie emphasized by executing his song and dance, from as elevated n position as possible. The result was that he was speedily established In a legitimate business by bis elder brother, who was quick enough to save himself and even Increase his own popularity by the act. "I would never have thought of the d(fdge if It hadn't been for the ridicu lous sensitiveness that be bad olwnt my letting anybody know what I was doing, and the fact that wlinever I touched him for a loan he only re sponded in the most stingy manner possible," said the younj, man, who was not without a sense of humor. "The patent medicine scheme, however, worked even better than I expected." There Is one other and entirely differ ent case, where one of the least peas ant traits in human nature resulted In the gaining of a competence. It also, unfortunately, resulted In the giving up of a career. A girl who was making a reputation as a concert singer was astonished to receive a notice from a firm of lawyers that a comparatively large annual Income would be at her disposal If she would r?tlre into private life. After consideration she came to the conclusion that n moderate cer tainty was better than the alluring but precarious promise of what she her self could earn, and she ocepptrd tha terms and the money. Rho never knew until lor.g afterward that it came from a relative with whom she bad not been ?n the best of terms and who, jealous of a career which she herself had longed for, but which she bad not the talent or beauty enough to fill, had taken this method of preventing her young relative from shining In it. New Yolk Sun. The Krepzlnc Touch. In the coiK'ge classroom where phys ical experiments were conducted we were requested by the professor to enter without a noise for the next few days. Pointing to a glass jar of clear liquid, he said: "I have an experiment in process here; vibration mny cause it to fall." We came in carefully for the next few lectures. At length, nt n certain stage in a lecture on heat, the profes sor simply touched the jar. nnd in stantly it was frozen from top to bot tom. The preparation had been in so lution for some time. Its temperature was below the freezing point, but it remained uncougealed till it was made, to vibrate. Then it froze immediate ly. Who has not seen the freezing touch?

At Gorleston, England, the other night the piece de resistance at a ban quet was a huge sea pie. three feet high and four and one-half feet long.

CItliena of Lara Clllea Say It It. New York, Juno 13. In tho recent agitation here about the price of gas, tho demand for lower rates was sup ported by the argument that every resi dent is as dependent upon a supply of gas as upon a supply of good water. It bos como to pass that the day to' borer uses gas as his only fuel for cooking, because of economy, and the rich man uses bus on account of Its convenience. Gas for lighting, with modern Improvements in burners, is cheaper, belter and more satisfactory than any other kind of light. Go sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet in large cities, and from that to us high as $3.00 in smaller towns. The consumer of gas In the country uses Acetylene (pronounced a-set-a lene), and each user makes his own gas and Is independent of Gas and Electric Companies. Acelyleno is a more per fect 11 1 u in i i: n ii t than the gas sold by the big gns companies In the cities, and the cost to tho smallest user Is about the equivalent of city gas at 85 cents per thousand. Acetyleno is the modern artificial light, the latest addition to the many Inventions tliut have become dally ue cessltles. , Tho light from an acetylene flams Is soft, steady and brilliant, and in qua! lty is only rivaled by the sun's rays. If water nnd a solid material known as Calcium Carbide are brought Into con tact, the immediate result is the mak ing of this wonderful gas. The genera tion of acetylene is so slmplo that ex perience or even apparatus is not neces sary to make it. If it Is desired to make it for practical lighting, and to keep It for Immediate use, then a small machine called an "Acetylene Genera tor" Is employed. There are many re sponsible concerns making acetylene generators. In practice this gas is dis tributed in small pipes throughout buildings, grounds or entire cities and towns in the same manner as ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the only satis factory means of lighting Isolated buildings located In the country or suburbs at a distance from city gas or electric plants. Farmers No Longer Lonely. Conditions have changed In relation to the farmer. No longer is he segre gated from his fellows. His is not now a condition of irremediable lone liness or isolation.

Today the farmer has his dally newspaper, his added facilities for correspondence, and his telephone mat Drings mm within speaking dis tance of his neighbors ad the great outside world. The nature of the farm er has changed with the changed con ditions that surround him. He has become a business man who Is In con stant touch with his markets and is well versed In the varying clrcum stnncee of trade In the commodities that he produces.
